Shrimp: 1 lb Shrimp; Peeled & deveined 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon Thyme 1 teaspoonContinue […]
I grew up eating and loving these ribs. I’ve altered the tried and true recipe to suit my personal tastes, and I think the brown sugar allows for an even crispier bark! It’s amazing served with Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Red Beans & Rice and Scalloped Potatoes. 1 rack of Baby Back Ribs 2 Tablespoons […]
I woke up with this recipe in my head and I had all the ingredients I needed. They were so good! Next time I’ll use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder and add cilantro and lime juice to the chicken. 12 Street Tortillas 1 large Chicken Breast; cubed ½ teaspoon Salt ¼ teaspoon Pepper ¼Continue […]
Sometimes all you need is a big bowl of Italian pasta salad. It’s such an awesome way of using up the extra odds and ends in the kitchen. I had extra pasta, chicken and pepperoni that needed to be eaten so in they went! 4 ½ cups Pasta; cooked ½ cup Black Olives; sliced ½Continue […]
This is by far my favorite recipe for meatloaf. I love meatloaf with ketchup, but what about BBQ Sauce? One word. Amazing! It’s a go to for Meatloaf Night. Cheap, quick and its a great way to hide the veggies that picky kids or *cough* younger brothers *cough* refuse to eat. When you have time, […]
I made a Big Mac Burger…Log(?) for dinner, because why not! A Bûche de Big Mac, if you will! It was absolutely delicious despite it’s comical nature!

My goodness! I totally forgot how much I love Beef Stroganoff! My apartment smells divine! I opted for a more traditional recipe this time. Served with some Beef Pirozhkis. As always, it’s not traditional because I love tinkering with recipes too much. 3 lb Chuck Roast; cubed ¼ cup Dijon Mustard ¼ cup Vinegar 2 Tablespoons WorcestershireContinue […]
I really wanted something crunchy and super easy for dinner. Behold, my creation! Bang Bang Butterflied Shrimp Biscuits with Coleslaw and Sriracha Mayo! I love my air fryer. You can also use your oven. Just follow the baking instructions for the biscuits and shrimp. 8 Buttermilk Biscuits 16 Butterflied Shrimp 1 cup Mayonnaise; divided ¼ […]
This Cinnamon spiced whole chicken roasted inside of a pumpkin was supposed to be a Halloween joke, but it turned out unexpectedly amazing! It went brilliantly with the Wild Rice and Vegetables, Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Cake and Cinnamon Roasted Beets. 1 Fryer Chicken (around 4 lbs) 1 Medium Sugar Pumpkin ½ cup Butter 1 […]
I tried curry for the first time when I was 25 years old (a little late, I know) and now it’s one of those meals that I make a couple of times a month! Curries are a great way to use up every type of vegetable you may have laying around. My personal favorites are […]
Gyros sounded really delicious! I wish I could have used just lamb, but it was ridiculously expensive. I wanted to try making pita bread and they turned out amazing and my house smells so delicious! Meat: 1 pound lean Ground Beef 1 pound Ground Lamb 2 cloves Garlic; grated 1 small Onion; grated 1 teaspoonContinue […]
Unfortunately corn is out of season right now, otherwise I would have used grilled corn instead of canned sweet corn but it still came out freaking amazing! I dipped tortilla chips in it and holy wow! It was so creamy and the sweetness of the corn with the spiciness of the chile peppers was delicious! […]
This really hit the spot tonight! The addition of bacon was spot on and added a little smokiness to the filling (along with the smoked paprika). I’m going to be making these with Italian sausage next time and I’m really excited! 6 oz. Jumbo Shells (about 20 shells) 24 oz. Marinara Sauce 1 ½ cupsContinue […]
I was so excited when I found out that this week’s side dish in class was risotto. It’s hands down my favorite rice dish and it’s surprisingly easy to make! My chef instructor gave us a lot of rein to customize the dishes and I ran with it! I was shocked at how well itContinue […]
